I am lvl 280 QS3-Wugu3-Hackapel . Went solo to do quests in Inner Wall District 8 (recommended lvl 279). Was surprised with how much damage mages do to my character even with Didel Tower Shield equipped. Not fun. Not fun at all. Half of my interest of rank 8 update is gone with just one thought that monsters on higher lvl maps will deal even more damage. Why would IMC implement such hardcore monsters is a mystery. And i am not a hardcore player.
Oh well, even with 1k1 magic def. Those magic mobs can deal 300~600 per hit to me @@ INSANE
It’s just telling you: go and party up. It’s high level content after all.
Saintone wrote a PSA about the really high strenght of the monsters here yesterday. It’s gonna be really less painful on a party.
Its really really strong. Not possible to solo for most people. Only some cleric builds can solo (such as PD2).
PS: pots won’t save you
I don’t want to party up for simple quests. I would understand that there are dungeons and missions which you can’t do solo. But quests? On “entry” map to new locations? This game becomes more and more hardcore which is not fun for me. I saw videos from Korea with new mobs and how hard they hit and was hoping that with our update they would tone them down… I was hoping that IMC would separate party content from solo content. I am not a hardcore player. All I want is to level my character when I have spare time, farm a bit for attributes and weapon\armor upgrades. Do dungeons\missions in a party. And with new content I feel being pushed into hardcore mode straight away… Don’t know what to think of this game anymore. End game content as I understand it is a hard dungeon with difficult mobs and bosses, not regular maps where I can’t do quests solo…
then quit
/hardcorehueknight
Quit is a wrong word. Stop playing is a correct one. I guess my “tears” are useless because no one is forcing me to play. It’s just my hopes were high, really high … for a day 
then Alt+F4
not complain about the tree of solo?
if more hp and more def more mobs equals to hard game…
then game like chess shouldn’t have same pieces for white and black…
at this point, I don’t even know anymore… whats a good quality game and whats not.
It’s a crap way to do things, because for questing, nobody is ever around to play with eachother. It’s already hard enough to form grind party’s in grind area’s. let alone quests on a map that people only do once.
So he has a point, now there is no choice for him to advance unless he finds a party which hammers his progress completely to a halt if he can’t find it. There is nothing else to do.
It’s bad game design, people like you need to quit the forums.

Just when I wanted to make a non-peltasta dragoon. 
sorry if you can no longer one-shot-all
and if you want to know, as tank game and I’m not crying for taking 3~5 minutes to kill
I just did some job change quest.
I assure you, it is hard and very slow even if you have full party .
I think game should be party based right off from lv1
able to solo lv1 to lv200+ gives the fake impression
IMC could go along with this pattern, solo quest till lv999,
but little do I know
IMC decided lv300 is a party quest fest~
I partially share the same feeling. It’s a big turn off for me when I get online during my spare time and that I am having hard time to find people to progress through mere quests. Once your friends are done with these quests, well you missed your chance with them until they reroll or have alts.
This is the patch that will finally kill the game.
Good job IMC.
not so fast, TOS will stay strong and alive because 80% of the 5k player now is lv280
so lv280 guys have no problem advancing~
too bad for any of the newbies~
literally new player got IMC’ed
Most of the 280 players can’t advance unless a Swordsman is carrying them.
Just did a quest that dropped 8 mobs on me that had like 320k hp and hit for 4k damage each and had so much magic defence any damage I did was cut down to like 40%.
Anyone who relies on magic damage is basically useless now.
It has nothing to do with 1 shotting anything
I started this game around 2 month ago and play a wizard. I have a permshare with my wife, who plays a cleric. On those new maps i have a really really hard time due to the insance magic defense. Since i´m not jobless and i dont cheat, i just dont had the time to farm enough funds to get appropiate gear for the new content.
It really seems that magic damage is seriously hampered on those new maps.
